What is Bloom Together?
After struggling to find connection and guidance during the first few years of homeschooling, our founder Katie was prompted by the Lord to start a ministry to help women navigate their homeschool journey. Bloom Together was created to help women navigate their homeschool journey. What started as a discipleship dream to help like-minded women navigate the nuances of homeschool life, grew into an organization that works with Christian women in all stages of life. From newlyweds, to seasoned mentors, we strive to create a community of women who take Titus 2 : 3-5 seriously. Seeking mentors and community isn’t easy. Our prayer is this organization is a launching pad for solid spiritual guidance and growth in every walk of your life. We hope you find a home here with us as we help make disciples of all nations.
